"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"5 months after the job is done, front part of the roof is now leaking where we had issues before. Checked into possible hail damage. Insurance adjuster says we have damage, and shingles are already visibly worn because they **are a poor quality shingles** Said there are places where the nails are already conning up, damaging the shingles, too. Should not be happening on a new roof. Buyer beware. Research what shingles they tell you they are using to verify quality and verify you are getting what you were promised. I believe we got what was promised and what we paid for, but was not knowledgeable enough and did not do my research to realize the promised product was not very good. Have now read through GAF warranty info and learned that there are very few instances in which they will actually do anything to help the client. In fact, if you make a claim, and they decide it is not their fault, they will charge you $500. Avoid GAF shingles! My main disappointment with workmanship was I found a bunch of nails in my gutters and quite a few in my driveway afterward. Just did not do a thorough job of cleaning up after themselves. Also, they had to pull some of the siding off to lay the rubber roof. It was not reattached well so started falling off when we had some winds afterward. This is the first time I have ever had to hire a roofer. Maybe my expectations were just too high. Not looking forward to having to do this all over again now thanks to the hail. But glad that it was discovered and will have to be redone knowing that there were problems already popping up."

Siding questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to use the same siding around the entire home. Using different siding for different walls can actually increase the soft value of your home. Many homeowners opt to add vinyl siding on the sides of their home not facing the street, opting for higher-end siding materials like stone or wood for the front of the house. Stone veneer siding can be a cost-effective option for homeowners who like the appearance of stone, but not the cost.

You can calculate the required square footage of siding you need by measuring the height and width of your home’s rectangular exterior walls. For the triangular-shaped gable walls, measure the height from the ground to the tallest gable point to make sure you have enough for good coverage. Once you have combined the totals for each wall, add another 10% to account for wasted materials. It’s also good to have extra siding on hand to tackle wood siding repair down the road.

You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.

There are several highly durable types of siding that you can build right on top of without removing it, with wood being one of them, provided it's in excellent condition. However, a common reason for siding replacement is to eliminate materials that are in poor condition, making installing new wood siding over old not recommended. Additionally, the cost of adding siding over existing siding can increase costs to between $7 and $13 per square foot.

Oil-based stains are preferred over latex or water-based varieties because your home's cedar siding must constantly withstand the weather conditions in your location. These stains provide better penetration into the wood to more effectively protect it from UV rays and water infiltration. Oil-based stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, opaque, or solid-color selections to achieve the look you desire.
